We have analysed rich, dynamic data about the behaviour of anaesthetists during the management of a simulated critical incident in the operating theatre. We use a paper based analysis and a partial implementation to further the development of a computational cognitive model for disturbance management in anaesthesia. We suggest that our data analysis pattern may be used for the analysis of behav...

Learning from interactive learning environments enriched with multiple external representations (MERs) is often beneficial. The learning benefits of MERs highly rely on the development of Representational Competence. Representational Competence refers to an ability to translate and see relations between MERs. The relevant research findings have consistently reported learners’ difficulty in rela...

Self-control and the ability to resist temptation are critical for successful completion of long-term goals. Contemporary models in cognitive neuroscience emphasize the primary role of prefrontal cognitive control networks in aligning behavior with such goals. Here, we use gaze pattern analysis and dynamic functional connectivity fMRI data to explore how individual differences in the ability to...

Cognitive maps have been utilised in decision analysis in the past. More recently fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) have been proposed as an alternative to knowledge-based expert systems for representing and analysing complex systems. Increasing interest in adaptive systems, in the form of artificial neural networks, has also focussed attention on FCMs. This paper presents an overview of the evolutio...

A generalized simplified model for describing the dynamic behavior of distributed parameter systems is proposed. The various specific characteristics of gain and phase angle of distributed parameter systems are investigated from frequency response formulation and complex plane representation of the proposed simplified model. The complex plane investigation renders some important inequality cons...

We propose the concept of cognitive networking for large-scale wireless systems, which opportunistically utilises network resources including both spectrum bandwidth and radio availability. Both types of resources cannot be predetermined in large-scale wireless systems, due to various reasons such as interferences and dynamic traffic load. The proposed technology not only establishes dynamic wi...

Speech and many other acoustic signals show a hierarchical structure which has to be considered if systems for speech and audio processing are developed. Because systems for speech recognition and for speech synthesis follow the same hierarchy, a unified approach (UASR) was proposed in the year 2000, which was implemented during the following decade. The general application of Finite State Tran...
